From experience, I can tell you, that my long distance relationship did [and still does] work. If you love someone nothing can separate you, it's a struggle, and definitely not for everyone, but when it's true it can work. My boyfriend and I lived 600 miles apart for a year, and we are still going strong together. Let me tell you though, being that far apart, and then being close enough to see eachother each day, changes the relationship greatly. Sometimes for the better, and sometimes for the worst.
